Hey everyone!

I'm still here. lol

I needed a couple days away from my computer. Lots of stuff around the house that needed to be done.

Plus, as most of you know, we've been very busy with spammers and people pretending to be site administrators in emails and PM's. The moderators and I spent a lot of time trying to catch up on doing what we can about them. So we haven't been able to post as much as usual.

Just to remind everyone. If you receive a PM containing spam, please let a moderator or myself know so we can take care of it.

Also, if you receive a PM or email from someone claiming to be an administrator or someone in charge of this site, please let a moderator or myself know! Some members have been receiving emails claiming they're from the forum, telling you that you have a virus. THIS IS NOT A REAL EMAIL FROM THE FORUM. IT IS A SPAMMER ATTEMPTING TO GET YOU TO CLICK ON THEIR LINKS, OR REPLY TO THEIR EMAIL.

In either case, if you receive a spam PM or email from the forum, DO NOT REPLY TO IT. Especially if you get an email. Once you reply, they have your valid email address and can email you without going through the forum. If that happens, there's no longer anything we can do to help you. You will then need to take steps to block their emails using your email program or internet provider.

the tragedy in Haiti is terrible and I heard a very scary number today that the doctors there are performing 70 amputations per day! also 60 minutes had a Haiti part lastnight and the Dr's are using rusty hacksaws for some of these procedures, there was a person who donated a bottle of whiskey to help sterillize the instruments needed! that is terrible! a guy I work with says the he!! with them, but they are suffering very badly, it really hurts to see so many suffer, including and especially the young children of Haiti! I saw the news today where a mother and father had to decide on their daughters amputation of her foot! very bad situation in Haiti, I feel very bad for all of them! please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

see ya Todd, thanks for all the great words. we are very lucky and when things go bad for others some people just don't see it? I always try and tell people that it could be worse, look at all the suffering in the world in which we live in. I'm out also, goodnight MCF, see you all tomorrow!
